Leo by Johfra Bosschart

To be seen for who you are…

The Wheel of Life and Mean­ing has turned, and with it the time to cel­e­brate Can­cer gives way to the Heart of the Teach­ings held by the sign that is Leo. You take from Can­cer this most pre­cious truth; that at the cen­ter of every­thing and every­one of us is quite pro­found­ly what lies at the cen­ter of Cre­ation, and that is the Light of the One.

What you felt in Can­cer, what you know to be true in your heart, is that the spark of the Divine with­in you is pure and Uncon­di­tion­al Love. This Love is what the Uni­verse was made from, and that is what you are made by. And it is this Feel­ing-Truth that will inspire you now to bring this Love into your self-real­iza­tions formed in Leo, as you stride upon the many stages of your life, as you seek to be who you are by your actions and per­for­mances, as you become your own cre­ator, the mak­er of your­self and your world too.

And, this is most impor­tant, as much as you will stretch in Leo to be true to who and what you are, to being wit­nessed as embody­ing the liv­ing Spir­it in all that you do, you must equal­ly know and under­stand that who­ev­er is before you, that they are illu­mined by this same Divine Light as you.

This is the heart of the mes­sage of Leo; that you are here to shine like a star, to be the very embod­i­ment of the Light and Love of the Divine. The Ancient Wis­dom holds that long, long ago, we humans came as sparks of the Divine from a star, and that one fine day, eons from now, our spark of the Divine will become the heart of a very real star too. This is the Jour­ney of Life-Spir­it-Con­scious­ness, we are made to shine, and we are here to shine for one anoth­er too.

In Can­cer, by Water, you find your way to feel the whole of your­self, to be root­ed in what, where and who you came from. In Leo, by Fire, you move out through your feel­ings into the realm of Emo­tions. The Fire that comes through all of us now, and always some­where in your very own chart too, is the same as the Cre­ative Spir­it of the One, and it moves through you so that you may become your­self in ever more mean­ing­ful acts of Lead­er­ship, Cre­ativ­i­ty and Love.

But you must remem­ber that you are here because of and for one anoth­er; that you are nev­er alone, nor could you ever be you with­out the lives you have shared with so many oth­ers. In Leo you strive to bring out the best from your­self, and it is by your exam­ple that you inspire oth­ers to find with­in them­selves the courage and joy to be their bet­ter selves too. This is Leo, this is true lead­er­ship; and this is what we do for one anoth­er. We see one anoth­er for who and what we real­ly are, and we know the truth that is held in our heart which is Love.

We need one anoth­er. We need to be rec­og­nized, respect­ed, and loved for who we are, as we in turn see, respect, and love our fel­low humans for who they are. We trust one anoth­er because we hold to the same fun­da­men­tal truth, that we are made by the Love of the One and we are here to Love and shine for one another.

This is the teach­ing; this is the way of the One.

Be Fear­less, be Respect­ful, be Loving.

This is the way of the Lion.

The way of Leo.
